Tempting

It’s been a year. Mai’s been in a good mood all morning. Nikkita sat at the kitchen table. Earlier in the day, he got an interesting proposal.

Hours Earlier

Nikkita sat alone in a bar. Yes, this was the middle of the day. This was Moscow. What else were they going to do in the middle of the day? Mai kept acting all sweet and nice all morning. She leaned on his shoulders and nibbled on his ear. Her husband eyed her.

“Something good happened?” he asked.

“Mmm. Not yet,” she said. Nikita wrinkled his nose.

“Not yet?” he asked. His wife gave him a little pout. She let go of his shoulders and walked out of the kitchen. Nikkita tilted his head.

“Mai?” he asked. When she slammed the door, it dawned on him.

“Oh…” he said to himself.

So here he was on the day before their anniversary, drinking in a bar, trying to figure out what to do. Nikita rubbed his forehead.

“Oh boy.” How was he fixing this one? He paused when he sensed someone sitting next to him. Nikkita turned his head to see a buxom blonde staring at him, grinning.

“Hello?” he asked.

“What’s something hated as a kid but now love as an adult?” she asked. Nikita gave her a strange look.

“What?” he asked. Her grin looked too big on her face.

“I’ll tell you mine,” she said without giving him a chance to say a word. This woman looked around for a moment. Not like anyone was paying them any attention. One old man sat in the corner of the bar, barely able to hold his head up. He looked like he was about to nod off over his beer. The bartender rolled his eyes as he cleaned another glass. This rosy-cheeked woman sat there grinning at Nikkita. He put up his hand as if to nudge her along to say something.

“What is it?” he asked. The woman giggled before she leaned in close to his left ear.

“Spankings,” she said as she tried to hold back another laugh. Nikkita turned his head as he tried to process what he heard. The woman’s teeth looked a little bit too white under the dim lights of the bar. He squinted as his brain started to do gymnastics.

“What?” he asked. The woman giggled. He wasn’t sure if she was drunk, nuts, or both.

“I love spankings,” she said.

“Okay… That was rather… random.” He had no idea where this was going.

“I love spankings. Oh, the harder, the better!” The woman threw back her head and groaned.

“Oh yes! I want to be smacked on the ass so hard right now!” She turned and looked at Nikkita.

“I have been a bad girl.” The woman licked her lips with a hungry look in her eyes. Nikkita blinked with a stupid expression on his face.

“Are you trying to solicit me or something?” he asked. He wasn’t going to lie, the woman looked kind of cute. Her big cup size didn’t hurt either. They looked like they were about to pop out of her small black top. The glitter made it hard for him to ignore. She had to be about twenty or twenty-one. If he was hammered, maybe she could be sexier. The way she stared at him was a bit off-putting, but still…

“I’m so lonely,” she said with a little pout.

“I don’t even know your name,” Nikkita said.

“Does it matter?”

His eyes shifted back and forth. “I don’t know. I guess…” No one was paying them any attention. The old man in the corner had already dozed off. There was another man dressed in a dark suit sitting at a table in another corner. He drank from his bottle as if to say, “This is none of my concern.”

“Spank me! Spank me!” the woman pleaded.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa!” Nikkita said, putting up his hands. “Slow down there, Sally!” His new companion sat back with a closed-lip smile. The man finished his drink. He cleared his throat.

“Listen,” Nikkita said. “I’m going to get up and cool down for a couple of minutes. “When I come back, I will give you an answer.” The woman didn’t say anything. She batted her long eyelashes instead. Nikkita cleared his throat again.

“Excuse me,” he said. He turned and hurried to the bathroom.

What just happened? What was that? Nikkita stared at himself in the bathroom. If this had happened around nighttime and he wasn’t preoccupied, he would’ve been smoother with his answers. Maybe throw in a witty comeback to her wanton requests. The man rubbed his forehead.

“Come on, man. Get it together,” he said. His mind wondered back to his wife. Mai had probably calmed down by now. He hadn’t checked his phone yet to see if she had tried to call or text him. Oh yeah. What was he going to do about the anniversary situation?

That’s when an idea popped into his head.

Nikkita’s lips curved into a smirk as it all came together in his head. His new “friend” would help me make things better. The man smoothed back his hair and flashed his prize-winning grin.

“Oh yeah! I’ve got this!” he said. Nikkita turned and walked out of the bathroom.

Not surprisingly to him, he found the woman still sitting at the bar, staring at the bathroom door. How long had she been sitting there like that? Nikkita pushed that thought out of his head and walked over to his new “friend”. He calmly took his seat.

“You want a spanking, huh?” he asked. He looked out of the corner of his eye as she let out an excited whimper. Nikkita gave himself a devilish smile. The man slowly turned to his wanton “friend”. He took her by her chin and cheeks.

“Well then,” he said. “Here is what is going to happen. You will get your spanking, but you are going to have to help me out with a little something in return.” The woman’s mouth hung open as she panted heavily. Her pupils dilated.

“Do we have an understanding?” Nikkita asked.

“Yes,” she said in a high-pitched whisper. The man laughed as he let go of her face.

“Then follow me,” he said. Nikkita paid his tab and stood up from the stool. He didn’t turn around as he heard the footsteps following behind. The man already knew this was going to work out in his favor. Mai will be more than willing to forgive him when he got through with him and his new “friend”.
